From the parking area, begin hiking south on the well-worn slickrock trail. Continue hiking as the trail ascends approximately 35 feet and just over 100 yards to the top of Panorama Point. An exhibit on top provides information about the exceptionally clean air found in the park that contributes to the incredible views before you. Standing on top, it’s easy to see how this place got its name. There simply isn’t a bad view in any direction.

Not as cool as looking down on it from atop the Chimney Rock Trail, Panorama Point is a short walk from a paved circle. Gives you a great 360 view of Capitol Reef's features, worth the 10-15 minute stop.
